Plugins always have to be installed externally.
All that Firefox does is scanning for plugins in known locations and show plugins that are found in "Add-ons -&gt; Plugins" and on the about:plugins page.

<p>You should see the plugin in "about:addons -&gt; Plugins" once you have installed the package that provides the VLC plugin.
You may have to create a symlink to the actual plugin in case Firefox doesn't find it.

The closest thing that pops up is Netflix fixer for Linux, I'm sure that's not it.
Remember: the issue is that I want to view streaming camera video on a web page via Firefox on a mac, works on Linux.

Unfortunately, I have already installed VLC a while ago.
When I link directly to vlc as in:
&lt;a href="rtsp://LWK-zzzz::zzzzzzzz@192.168.1.XXX:554/img/video.sav"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
then it will open a cam in the VLC program and that part works. However i can't get it to work in a web browser with an &lt;object&gt; definition.
Is there something I have to do to "tie" the browser to the VLC program?
</p>You need to install VLC.
